The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my night
The truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I'd sail before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
Two hundred twenty-two days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet's play
Until there's nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time...
I wish for this night-time...
"Sleeping sun" Nightwish
Computer Science
I'm in the lucky position to get paid for doing something I would probably
do in my spare time anyway.
I'm especially interested in Software Engineering, automating my development
process and Software Quality Management.
I started to write down small recipies for things I think I or someone else
might need again.
Rockclimbing
My newest addiction is climbing. I used to go climbing in the imPULSIV in Karlsruhe,
but you won't find me there anymore because
The Rock opened in late september.
For climbing outdoors we go to the 'Battert' Crag close to Baden Baden to climb
(here are a few pictures and here are
some more).
